I have about 10 different ARs chambered in 5.56, 300bo, 308, and 6.5 Creedmoor. I've got them set up in rifle and pistol configurations for CQB, medium range, hunting, plinking, and long range. All of my bases are covered in the semi auto rifle department. I don't NEED another heavy .308 rifle. But, I WANT one, and I don't know why...
Many people think SCARs are ugly, but I think they are beautiful. I love the ACR style stock and oversized fore-end. I wish I could just buy an ACR style stock and put on an AR and a Stribog SP9A3...
If I buy a SCAR 17, it's not gonna get shot long range. I'll put a suppressor on it and set it up for HD. And, I'll shoot deer with it. But, my longest hunting shot is only about 50 yards... Why would anyone use a SCAR17 for HD and 50yd deer hunting? I already have several guns set up with optics and accessories that would do a better job at both those things... Why do HD with a long ass SCAR17 and suppressor when I could use my suppressed Stribog SP9A3, or suppressed MK23, or suppressed 300bo AR Pistol, or suppressed HK VP9T? I could have a different suppressed handgun in each hand! Or a different suppressed AR in each hand! (I know that's stupid and I wouldn't do that. But, I could.)
Why do I want to waste $3000+ on a SCAR17?
I have been looking at the PSA Jakl 308. I'd happily buy one of those and save $1k... But, there is no telling how long I will have to wait to get one (at least a year). And no one knows how much they will cost... And, the current generation of JAKLs in 5.56 are having lots of hiccups. Why would I wait a year to buy a new weapon which is guaranteed to have kinks that will need working out? Why not just spend the $3k and have a superior weapon in my hands right now?
SO, I'm asking y'all... Why do I want this thing?
If I don't get a Scar, what should I get instead?
